The Statistical Mechanics Underpinnings of Machine Learning
Machine Learning Is Different Now: Actually, machine learning is a continuation of what it always has been, which is deeply rooted in statistical physics (statistical mechanics). It’s just that there’s a culmination of insights that are now a very substantive body of work, with more theoretical rigor behind them than most of us know. A Lesson from Mom: It takes a lot of time to learn a new discipline. This is something that I learned from my…
